Samsung introduces the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra foldable smartphones

Samsung has expanded its foldable lineup with the introduction of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. The Z Fold 8 Ultra continues the established tall, narrow form factor of previous generations, while the standard Z Fold 8 introduces a new, wider, and shorter design that resembles a passport. Both devices feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy processor, enhanced with larger vapor cooling chambers for improved performance. The Z Fold 8 Ultra is the thinnest and lightest foldable in its class, weighing 215g and measuring 4.1mm when unfolded. The standard Z Fold 8, weighing 205g, features a 5.5-inch cover display and a 7.6-inch main display with a 4:3 aspect ratio, which reduces letterboxing during video playback. Both models incorporate titanium layers within the display panel to minimize screen creases and enhance structural integrity. The Z Fold 8 Ultra is equipped with a 5000 mAh battery supporting 45W charging, while the Z Fold 8 houses a 4800 mAh battery with the same charging capacity.
